That is exactly why you should always edit your stuff before deleting it. Very few companies ever save more than the last version of your stuff, due to space and performance considerations. That way they can restore whatever they want, it’ll simply come out as “x” or whatever you put in there.
Hmmm, not to be an apologist, but I wonder if this isn’t a data set integrity problem on reddits end. I reran PowerDeleteSuite, and it “acted funny” through the process.
When I checked my profile again, some posts were edited, and others were not. As I was paging through and manually editing the misses, the list of pages got shorder and shorter.
Perhaps a cache flush? I’m not saying put away the pitchforks here, just… This is weird.

Except they’re also apparently restoring even edited posts and comments.
Source?
I scrubbed two accounts on the 13th, and they’re both back with the original posts as of this morning the 16th.
Same for me

I did this for this exact reason
